Precious Metals Gift Guide for Holidays

We have a lot of really cool items for sale here at Provident Metals. Here are some of our top-selling products to consider when holiday shopping.

Holidays year-round are great times to spend with friends and family, and present a prime time to give and receive gifts. Rather than the usual standbys of clothes, gift cards, or books, why not give your loved ones valuable investments in the form of precious metal bullion the next time a gift-giving occasion comes along? Precious metals are among the best historical investments in terms of their ability to survive market downturns and are tangible assets that can be held as long as the owner wants.

Here are some of the best gifts in metals for your next holiday shopping list.

Jewelry has always been a popular holidays gift, but this bracelet is both a piece of fine jewelry and a very valuable investment. Made from one ounce of .9999 fine gold, the bracelet is a perfect store of value for seasoned gold investors and first timers alike. This bracelet is made with a simple smooth finish, giving it a very modern feel that makes it quite fashionable as a piece of wearable jewelry.

Complementing the smooth gold bracelet is one that is made with a rougher hammered finish. Like its counterpart, this bracelet contains exactly one ounce of .9999 investment-grade gold. With the rougher finish, the hammered bracelet has the look and feel of a more rustic piece of jewelry, yet is still extremely beautiful. If you're looking for a gift that is both attractive and a great investment, this gold bracelet may be just the thing.

If there's a horse lover on your gift list, this beautiful Australian coin, minted in 2014 to commemorate the Chinese year of the horse, will make a wonderful present. The obverse features a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse shows two horses beside a rocky stream. The coin is made from half an ounce of .999 silver, making it a great gift from an investment perspective as well.

Regardless of the gift-giving occasion, it's natural to want to spoil currently serving and former military members with great presents. That's why this US Army National Guard round, containing one ounce of .999 silver, is well worth consideration. The military member or members in your family will surely appreciate its theme, which includes a Revolutionary War minutemen standing guard on its obverse. The reverse, meanwhile, is left blank for engraving purposes, allowing you to customize the gift.

Similar to the Army National Guard round, the reverse of this Air National Guard version is left blank for personalized engravings. On the obverse, the minuteman can still be seen, but his figure is surrounded by an Air National Guard crest. Made from one ounce of fine silver, this round is a great investment and a gift that will carry personal meaning for military or ex-military recipients.
